Organizations, government leaders and policy-makers are searching for individuals with skills in law, policy analysis and communication expertise.

Students must apply to each program separately and meet the admissions requirements for each. Applicants must take the lsat (for law) and gre (for journalism) to be considered for admission. The gre requirement is waived for Walter Williams Scholars who meet admissions requirements for graduate study in journalism.
